$$-$$$, Lower Manhattan
Fodor's Review:
Sweeping views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and Lower Manhattan are some of the highlights of a stay at this elegant tower on the tip of Manhattan. The hotel is an oasis of fine living; the luxurious, large rooms and suites with plush fabrics and furnishings seem more like expensive living rooms than hotel rooms. The superlative staff includes a bath butler who can fill your deep soaking tub with anything from rose petals to rubber duckies. Take advantage of the quiet weekends to sample French-influenced steak-house fare at 2 West or imbibe at the View bar while peering out at Lady Liberty.
